We leave Vilanova de Lourenzá heading for Mondoñedo. As we first climb a steep incline and then make our descent, with every step we are following an ancient medieval trail that crosses the lovely valley of Lourenzá. In Galician, it is known as the Camiño da Brea (from the Latin ‘boreas’, ‘north wind’, which entered the Galician language as ‘brea’, meaning ‘strong wind with rain’).

We enter the municipal area of Mondoñedo and pass through villages such as Arroxo and Ogrobe, many of them offering intimate chapels open to visitors. The path runs parallel to the N-232 road and we soon reach San Pedro da Torre.
